All those wasted hours, we used to know
Spent the summer staring out the window
The wind it takes you where it wants to go

First they built the road, then they built the town
That's why we're still driving around and around
And all we see, the kids in the buses longing to be free

Wasted hours, before we knew
Where to go, and what to do
Wasted hours, that you made new
And turned into, a life that we could live

Some cities make you lose your head
Endless suburbs stretched out thin and dead
What was that line you said?

Wishing you were anywhere but here
You watched the life you're living disappear
And now I see, we're still kids in buses longing to be free

Wasted hours, before we knew
Where to go, and what to do
Wasted hours, that you made new
And turned into, a life that we could live
